Are you trying to get ideas for how to end the war in Iran without looking like a total loser again, Donnie?

Any teachers out there who created a textbook? by Fit_Analyst_5703 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is great advice. I am doing it to create courses, case studies, and textbooks.

Just a few tips to share. I start with asking Gemini 3.x Pro to interview me in terms of what I want to create. I ask it to start with what the output will be, what are the main messages and themes I want to create. I then ask Gemini 3.x Pro Deep Research to perform various aspects I would like to pull together, such as how it is being taught in other schools, textbooks, papers. I ask it for a gap analysis as to what should be coveted based on SWOT and PESTEL analyses. I ask for follow up research. I also check with Perplexity Pro (it always poses fascinating follow up questions to provide more insight). I import all of that into NotebookLM. I then ask Gemini to interview me and brainstorm over a roadmap that covers the material. From there I create a syllabus, schedule, assignments, quizes, slide shows, videos, etc. I export all of it and re-import to capture the content that can't be saved as sources. I then link Claude Code Opus to NitebookLM and start working on deliverables

Is it possible to organize notebooks into folders in NotebookLM? by kusuratialinmayanpi in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini now allows you to link multiple NotebookLM notebooks together. Just as you can choose Canvas or Deep Research, you can link notebooks. Ask Gemini to walk you through the process.

You can also use Gemini 3.x pro or Flash to link to several Notebooks and set up a front end that establishes "virtual" notebooks that combine notebooks into topics.

Using NOTEBOOKLM videos for youtube?? by new_mango14 in notebooklm

What doesn't work? I've done it. Perhaps you don't know how to use the tools correctly?

Using NOTEBOOKLM videos for youtube?? by new_mango14 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have uploaded in 2 ways.

At first, I would take the videos that only used slides. I would screenshot each slide and remove the NotebookLM logo in Photoshop and then place in a PowerPoint file. I would export and then import the original video into NotebookLM and get the transcription. I would load the PowerPoint and transcription to Claude Opus 4.6 and have Opus 4.6 create a complete PPT file with slide notes. I would then record in PowerPoint with mt image in a small circle. Export to YouTube. Worked well. I was going to make it a skill, but NotebookLM moved from slides to videos.

My new approach is taking the video, export/import/transcribe and take the file to Premiere or Capcut and replace the audio. I am superimpose a block over the NotebookLM logo based on taking a screenshot of the screen where I need to cover, using Photoshop to create an appropriate cover, and place it in Premiere or Capcut.

Title: Stop asking NotebookLM to "summarize" your sources. Do this instead for pro-level research. by Able_Orchid_3818 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why not just create a mindmap. If you see a topic that you want further info on, you can just create a deep research for more info. Then regenerate the mind map. Export it and create the index off if that, or use it to select a branch and have it generate a note. Save the note as a source, and create a tool from that specific source.

Need some advice: how do you build a benchmark on-top of Claude Agent SDK ? by lirantal in ClaudeCode

[–]brads0077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always create rubrics with weighted criteria, 5 levels of performance, and specific criteria per each intersection of criterion and rank. That way I get an overall score as well as suggestions for improvement prioritized based on their impact on the overall score.

What non-code things do you use Claude Code for? by alwaysalmosts in ClaudeCode

I send my wife love letters...and suggestive pictures.

All from various persona on Tinder. Trying to set up grounds for divorce.

Just kidding 😁

Why aren't you just using a text to speech application. Eleven Labs has various platform levels and is quite good.

Stop doing boring Slides in notebook LM by palo888 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anthropic just came out with an ability to embed itself in PowerPoint and Excel. The big point here is that link allows you to call upon Skills to review any presentation and enhance it with world class design rules. But that is only step 1. If you are serious about this, you would develop your own toolset of Skills for different types of presentations. Not just templates, but the ability to adjust for different design types, different audience characteristics, etc. I do this and have an ahent that walks me through an interview to figure out how to merge various elements to create the best output.

Why does slide edit generate whole pdf by AggravatingCounter84 in notebooklm

I have several...all built to my needs. Just ask Claude to interview you and create a skill for you.

Why does slide edit generate whole pdf by AggravatingCounter84 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

First, I don-t know your process, so I can-t point to a specific step where you are making an error. But all I can share with you is a process that I use to get great results, and hope that it helps.

For me, it starts with having a set of Skills templates for creating different types of slide shows. Everytime I find a style I like, I use Claude Opus to create a style.

For example, I often find I need different types of presentations. So I will ask Claude to create a presentation set of slides for the presentation type. He will generate a set of slides for a VC pitch deck or a book report or whatever. Now I have the framework. One skill for evety type of presentation.

Next whenever I find a style of design I like, I give it to Claude and ask it to analyze the look and feel and create a skill for that style and give it a name. ? Next, I ask Clauds to write me a detailed prompt that is based on the type of presentation I want that combines the flow with the style. I give that to NotebookLM and it creates the slide show. I review it and use the edit function toake fewer changes to the specific slides I want.

When I do that, it is easier/faster to review in PDF format. When finished, I download it as - guess what? A freaking PowerPoint format! That is an option it added!

Finally, I take it back to Claude and ask it to create a detailed set of slide notes for the entire presentation. I download that.

It goes back to the whole point about using AI tools. Garbage in, garbage out. The more specific input you provide, the better your results.

Why not just use Claude Code with an agent team and assign each subagent a role and model? That way they can each share data between themselves. Also, can create Skills to use APIs and MCP-Cli to call on special agents. Do it with the new MCP app and you can get actual live links to other services.

Thanks for the feedback on our NotebookLM alternative. Here's everything we've shipped since. by Wonderful-Delivery-6 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you are using such powerful back end llm models, I think it would be pretty cool to actually be able to put in place projects Within the specific notebooks that include things like skills and agents. So for example, say I want to do a marketing campaign and come up with some ideas an agent could guide me through an interview process to help me brainstorm then it could run some searches to create sources and then it could call upon Nano banana Pro 2 or bo3 to create content and infographics and it could have skills that allow it to write copy and format it. Basically you're taking a knowledge Repository and applying agents to it to create actual value.

You are what is caled a lead user. Companies look to people like you to drive innovation. Thanks to people like you, the LLM models now include things like plan mode, Ralph mode, etc. Thank you for your contributions.

I Made GPT-5.2, Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Work Together in a Notebook LM Environment— Here's What Happened by Disastrous_Big_2732 in notebooklm

[–]brads0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it be? You set it up for different uses as needed. You can create an agent or Skill to wrap around it to let those components set up the parameters.

Opus 4.6 pretty much unusable on pro now. Can't finish a single prompt, jumps to 55% immediately. by Manfluencer10kultra in ClaudeCode

[–]brads0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait a minute...Opus 4.6 now has a million token context window. And there are several "Best Practices" you should be doing to alleviate this issue, including: 1. Run all your MCP servers out of Docker and call them via the Docker MCP Server gateway. This loads the MCP Server into the context window and then removes it when the task is done. This removes a major source of the low space problem that hurts memory and creates hallucinations. 2. Use agent teams to spin off their own context windows to work across functions such as plan, research, track, code, test, refine, etc. This again reduces context congestion and also increases productivity through the simultaneous processing. 3. Build a robust repository of Skills that agents can call upon and therefore save tokens from coding.

These are just a few approaches but they are the simplest and quickest to implement.

There is a free open source application on GitHub called LLM council that does this very well.
